I feel this. Dated a girl in college back in 2004. Come to find out later in 2007 that she is a lesbian. I always wondered why we never made it past 2nd base.
No idea how anybody badly reviewed Pinkerton in the day. I put off listening for years and was blown away when I did listen to it. The pure melodies, dual guitars, harmonies are just perfect.
Weezer has put out so many songs that get helplessly stuck in your head for days at a time, and this just may be the most melodic and addicting of them all. Masterpiece.
I just randomly belted out I'M DUMB, SHE'S A LESBIAN, I THOUGHT I HAD FOUND THE ONE. WE WERE GOOD AS MARRIED IN MY MIND BUT MARRIED IN MY MIND'S NO GOOD ~hahahwhoooo, pink triangle on her sleeve, lemme know the truth, lemme me knOoOwWw the truth
Pinkerton is Weezer's best work. Rolling Stones gave it bad reviews, but they changed it recently, it was an album that not many people liked because it just wasn't popular and didn't have any big videos. Its got a following now because people found out it was pro. Pinkerton is truly their greatest album.
Never understood that label that stuck by RS. Thought that album was killer from release day. Still do. Glad they finally got the recognition even if a day late and a dollar short.
Why I love Pinkerton is that unlike the Blue Album, which sounded more like a compilation of tracks made over a couple of years, Pinkerton sounds like it was all composed in one crazy fever dream that Rivers had in a short period of time. The album is so cohesive and consistently weird and wonderful. It could have only been crafted in some crazy inspired burst of magical creative energy. Ideas taken from another dimension. We probably won't ever get an album like Pinkerton again.
Nope, because any time Weezer has tried to deviate from the Blue Album sound, they catch a bunch of shit. They're kinda like AC/DC in that respect. That's not to say Weezer hasn't put out some real misses in trying to do something different... I think they have... but maybe if Pinkerton had gotten the promotion and love it deserved when it came out, the band could have evolved organically as opposed to constantly having to step back and make the Blue Album again to appease people.
@@Issicra i just feel bad for rivers after pinkerton because people treated him like shit and they treated his music like shit and then they did it again when he tried to make something they would lik
I live in the alternate universe where they released this song as the first single for Pinkerton, Spike Jonze did a funny video for it, the album became a hit, and Weezer kept making great music.
I was thinking there's no way you remember an exact day like that then I looked at the date and almost immediately remember being with my high school friends Christmas break of our freshman years of college and driving around looking for the right place to go for so long we missed midnight on NYE. I was immediately back there. Great album. Great time of life. I'll never understand how it wasn't immediately hailed as the coolest album ever.
I have the dvd this is off of, and the one thing that really impressed me was how they let Pat collaborate with the songs so much. He plays guitar when they play acoustic, and he is hilarious. Major unsung hero of Weezer
It's really cool to look in this comment section because all the comments are so old. It really makes you wonder what has happened to these people since then? What is their perception on Weezer or music as a whole since then. Really weird to think that everyone else has a completely different life from yours... Oh yeah and the song is REALLY GOOD
I can definitely see how critics hated this album, but at the same time I can not grasp the idea that this was one of the most hated albums of the year. I've always loved this album, but I can kind of get the "River's cries like a teenager about his problems and it ends up coming off as creepy" thing even though I don't agree.
Everything is creepy to people. People just don’t like other people sharing their feelings in their own way. It’s only creepy because it’s a man and not a woman.
I remember discovering this video back in the summer of 2007 when I was 15 years old. It made me fall in love with this song and the album itself. So many RUclips videos from the first few years have since been removed but I’m so happy this one has stood the test of time.
@@paivank8823 They haven't peaked, they're a constant. I mean listen to Everything Will Be Alright In The End, White Album and Ok Human, those last two being up there with Blue and Pinkerton imo
@@ohyeahitsthatoneguy White and Ok Human, while they're the best albums they've put out since Green, sound childish and focus tested compared to Blue and Pinkerton. They never regained the passion and sincerity they lost after Pinkerton was panned. Rivers is a very talented songwriter but not a profound or tasteful one like he was at his peak.
@@patriciofernandez2711 it wasn't too profound what he was writing about and it still isn't but you can tell he's lived a little and has grown up since the Blue Album and Pinkerton days. He's arguably at his peak right now, Weezer hasn't died out and is more popular than ever thanks to generations of fans and new young fans getting into their stuff that keeps them soaring above most other bands coming from the 90s. Not many popular bands from back then are just as popular if not more popular today but Weezer stands out from the crowd by being unapologetically Weezer and by Rivers being himself. "They never regained the passion or sincerity after Pinkerton was banned" give me a break, I and many Weezer fans felt the passion and sincerity with EWBAITE, come on Foolish Father and then Futurescope Trilogy to finish off the album alone made the album one of the best in their discography. And come on saying the White Album and Ok Human is childish compared to Blue and Pinkerton sounds ridiculous. Especially Pinkerton...I rest my case
@@ohyeahitsthatoneguy I don't know bro, EWBAITE has a couple of great tunes like Da Vinci and the Futurescope trilogy but I don't find any of them to be essential Weezer. They have been playing it safe since their first "comeback" in 2001. Back to the Shack is the worst kind of padding to their core audience and the lyrics are regressive as hell. Yeah the lyrics on Pinkerton are not Bob Dylan material but they're painfully earnest; having your chorus go "I'm dumb, she's a lesbian/I thought I had found the one" and sing it with total sincerity and passion takes guts. I love OK Human more than anything they've put out in the last 20 years (I do like some Green though) but, while it's a very rich and lush album, no amount of Aloo Gobi's will reach the heights of the instrumental section of Falling for You. All my Favorite Songs is a very weak album opener as well. Rivers retreated into his shell after the Pinkerton disaster and never really came back. There has been some enjoyable stuff since then, but sadly he seems keen on writing for an immature audience.
When I'm stable long enough I start to look around for love See a sweet in floral print My mind begins the arrangements But when I start to feel that pull Turns out I just pulled myself She would never go with me Were I the last girl on earth I'm dumb she's a lesbian I thought I had found the one We were good as married in my mind But married in my mind's no good A pink triangle on her sleeve Let me know the truth, let me know the truth Might have smoked a few in my time But never thought it was a crime Knew the day would surely come When I'd chill and settle down When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl Then she put me in my place If everyone's a little queer Can't she be a little straight?

this song reminds me of why I like matt sharp's bass playing, its all over the place but still seems simple and doesn't just go with the song, but enhances it. Bass post Matt has just been simple period.
I havent seen anybody talk about the different mix of Pink Triangle on this video. The first time i heard this i didnt think much of it, but i put this video on my tv, and i noticed something was kinda off at the beginning of the track, the guitar was way more lower than i used to think it was, i kept on listening to the track on this video and noticed it was a different one, maybe a new weird mix?? nope, it turned out being the radio mix of the song lol.
i was about 11 when i first heard this album, and i remember thinking, "wow, this band sucks. they don't even compare to my favorite band, korn." my views have since changed. once i discovered women, man, this album was all i listened to. and then when i discovered puccini, man...good stuff. i rank pinkerton up there with doolittle. amazing album.
i appreciate the alternate mix in this video! it's definitely more polished, which i like, but i do also think that the raw, abrasive original mix overall adds to the intense melancholic aspect.
Weezer is such a damn good band, i struggle to think of another group with so many catchy and original tunes. Whenever i need a pick me up, these guys are my go to music.
@idontagree6 lol. But seriously, give Raditude a chance, you may not love it as much as Pinkerton, (but then again nobody beats Pinky) but it is a good album, there are a bunch of great songs, and a couple duds.
This song reminds me of last Christmas, I spent in New York with my grandparents and they have stairs, and I was kinda just sitting there listening to this (I got a apple gift card and I was just getting into weezer and I got the blue album and Pinkerton), working on a book.
I actually thought the Excell Center might explode from all the energy when Weezer played this song! Even Scott said that was a great mosh pit! That was by far the best concert I've ever been to.
"I just wish that she liked me instead of you. It made me wonder if I was started to hate you two... just a little bit." "So you were thinking, maybe it would be better if I weren't here at all?" "That's not it. I thought about it, and I don't want to hate anyone. I don't ever want to think about that kind of stuff ever again. I'm tired of it. I'm the worst kind of person. I wasn't thinking that it would be better if you never came along. I was thinking... wouldn't it be better if I just died?"
Weezer is a band that defies the idea of 'genre'. I believe that art is what it is and that no silly argument is allowed on a Weezer thread. Please accord these wonderful humans the respect they are due.
The song describes a man who falls in love with a woman with whom he imagines he could settle down and be married. However, he soon discovers that the object of his affection is a lesbian who possibly thinks that the man himself is gay.[3] The song is based on a real person that Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo encountered while a student at Harvard, whom he fantasized a life with until he saw a pink triangle-a gay pride symbol-on her backpack. According to Cuomo, a year and a half after the album was released he discovered that the woman was actually not a lesbian and had just been showing support for the gay community. Source : Wiki
Literally happened to me last week. I went up to a girl and had a nice conversation and was pretty happy about it but learned soon later that she was gay, so that sucked. Still, I didn’t know her for long so it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it was pretty funny.
Hey ıf you are just here for you like this song: you have a good taste in music But... If you are here because ıt happened to you and you are just here to feel better: Let me give you a hug man. Everythings gonna be alright.
Never heard this version before somehow, made me fall in love with this song again. And that solo, fucking biblical. 3:13 makes me feel like space is being torn apart. =w=
i wish we had other rerecordings to pinkerton, as much as i hate this one. I think I've figured out the reason for me, and it's the fact that the lead guitars are all panned super hard to the left or right and maybe even amplified, where in the original all the guitars are more blended together.
I think most agree that the Blue Album was simply a masterpiece, but there other albums are damn good and they have one of the best all around collections to date. 5 and soon to probably be 6 solid albums. Fantastic Band, they have never dissapointed me.
Whoa, cool!! This is definitely a different mix of this song. I just noticed how it sounded fresh to me compared it with the version on Pinkerton, so I compared them and it's definitely got it's subtle differences. Neat
This hits me hard after remembering last year I asked out a girl I thought really liked me but she turned out to be lesbian. Then the girl I got with after that tried to break up with me by saying she’s a lesbian.

The fact this video was uploaded 16 years ago, for some reason makes it even better.
Wow uploaded 2/2006. Early days of YT...

dawg, if Pinkerton was successful, Weezer would be making bops 🙏🙏
16 years later, blue and pinkerton are still their best. However, many people like Everything will be alright in the end, the white album ans OK Human

When I'm stable long enough
I start to look around for love
See a sweet in floral print
My mind begins the arrangements
But when I start to feel that pull
Turns out I just pulled myself
She would never go with me
Were I the last girl on earth
I'm dumb she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
A pink triangle on her sleeve
Let me know the truth, let me know the truth
Might have smoked a few in my time
But never thought it was a crime
Knew the day would surely come
When I'd chill and settle down
When I think I've found a good old-fashioned girl
Then she put me in my place
If everyone's a little queer
Can't she be a little straight?
I'm dumb she's a lesbian
I thought I had found the one
We were good as married in my mind
But married in my mind's no good
A pink triangle on her sleeve

Literally happened to me last week. I went up to a girl and had a nice conversation and was pretty happy about it but learned soon later that she was gay, so that sucked. Still, I didn’t know her for long so it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it was pretty funny.
I would kill to get a karaoke version of this.
Such an amazing piece of music.
18 years ago is crazy
Such a great tune.
Everything Sucks! Brought me here :D
AYYY SAME :)
Pinkerton is their best album, also the most underrated album ever. This song is also the most underrated song of the album... .
Hey ıf you are just here for you like this song: you have a good taste in music
But...
If you are here because ıt happened to you and you are just here to feel better: Let me give you a hug man. Everythings gonna be alright.
Never heard this version before somehow, made me fall in love with this song again. And that solo, fucking biblical. 3:13 makes me feel like space is being torn apart. =w=
married in my minds no good.
Weezer's first album and 'Pinkerton' are the only Weezer albums that I like. I love this song alot!!
@idontagree6
I'm guessing you don't agree?
I’m surprised to see you here haha
their best album. hands down
The radio remix ruins the rawness of the production.
Seriously, that snare drum is so distracting.
Thaaat's what the difference is. I couldn't figure it out.
You're welcome. :]
It's a complete re-record actually. I like it a lot tbh
Bleh, the snare drum sticks out like a sore thumb to be honest.
i wish we had other rerecordings to pinkerton, as much as i hate this one.
I think I've figured out the reason for me, and it's the fact that the lead guitars are all panned super hard to the left or right and maybe even amplified, where in the original all the guitars are more blended together.
Why did everyone give this a thumbs down?
It's asking about the lyrics. It's not calling Weezer gay....
Man these radio remixes of Pinkerton singles really blow don't they?
+James McGill yup
I think most agree that the Blue Album was simply a masterpiece, but there other albums are damn good and they have one of the best all around collections to date. 5 and soon to probably be 6 solid albums. Fantastic Band, they have never dissapointed me.
I just realized that in this video, the song has a slightly different mix
Took you a while
yeah, this was the radio mix
I love this song, it reminds me to my firts and unique love (this was his favorite song)
Where's our deluxe edition of Pinkerton at? Such an amazing record.
I have some wonderful news for you
Whoa, cool!! This is definitely a different mix of this song. I just noticed how it sounded fresh to me compared it with the version on Pinkerton, so I compared them and it's definitely got it's subtle differences. Neat
This hits me hard after remembering last year I asked out a girl I thought really liked me but she turned out to be lesbian. Then the girl I got with after that tried to break up with me by saying she’s a lesbian.
At the concert they played in St. Paul Minnesota the crowd went nuts to this song! the mosh got fun!
God this song is sooo good!
Shit what’s up past me
G Bm C G
I'm dumb, she's a lesbian

Pink triangle on her sleeve

I agree! Although I love all their albums, the first blue album and pinkerton are my favorites.
I want to see a show with Weezer, 311 and Gorillaz
